No worries. Given your age, I'm sure that the Mustang II is ancient history for you. But I'm only a few years older, and I remember the crappy car and the lasting negative brand effects very well. In fact, at an early car buying age, it turned me off from ever considering buying a Mustang.
As to the parallel, the point is that Ford made the second generation of the Mustang an economy car, and a poorly executed one at that. More here: https://www.liveabout.com/second-generation-mustang-photo-gallery-4123130
Thankfully, Camaros in the same era didn't follow suit. As for the Mach-E, to each their own. As for me, I hold Ford in contempt for the mis-use of the Mustang brand... again.

I think you are right. Corvette owners are one of the most vocal groups, and Chevrolet considers and solicits their feedback carefully. I'm all for electrification of a vehicle, as long as it stays true to the brand. An electric Corvette? Sure, can't wait, but it has to follow the basic tenets of the car's formula (2 seat sports car, etc.). Same idea for the Camaro (a 2+2 sports coupe). If Chevrolet wants an electric SUV/CUV, they can go ahead IMO, but please call it something else.The electric Corvette will never be a CUV. I'm not so sure about the electric Camaro though.
